Ahoy hoy,
From now on new users are no longer allowed to send private messages. It will require a level 2 minimum and some engagement with the community. The feature is locked by default until level 2 is reached.
This is meant to step up our fight against the scammer (maybe plural).
Only new users are concerned.
It is one of many steps we’ve taken in accordance with our commitment to destroy the possibility of scams.
Now, the human factor is still our most fragile element. So, check who you are dealing with, check their profiles, how long they’ve been here.
We can fairly easily bring scams down to zero permanently if everyone stays alert.
All that with minimum disturbance to user to user trade.
